San Jose, CA — Today, Mayor Liccardo and his San Jose City Council colleagues voted unanimously to formally support a resolution endorsing Mayor Liccardo’s plan to transform PG&E into a customer-owned utility.

“I’m grateful to my Council colleagues for supporting our efforts to urge the transformation of PG&E into a customer-owned utility. It’s time to relinquish PG&E’s negligence to history books, and to restore the public’s trust. Together, we can and built a utility that provides residents with reliable, efficient, and safe power, ” said Mayor Liccardo.
